YACHTS
The idea was to start from designing the
architectural structure and then identifying the
contents that would best integrate into it and
valorise it. This approach is the complete opposite
to what usually occurs when designing a yacht this
size, in which the components are integrated in the
structures. The decision to use loose components
essentially everywhere in the A115 (cabins, hall,
dining area, etc.) is linked to enabling the owner
to easily replace the components if they wish,
which allows them to choose from a broad range
of solutions.
The A115 is a yacht with an impressive layout, as
the three decks offer 500 square metres of liveable
space. There are four double cabins for guests on
the lower deck, while the main deck’s bow area is
dedicated entirely to the owner’s apartment - 40
square metres that guarantee perfect privacy.
In the bow area of the lower deck, there are eight bunks for the crew
in four cabins. The captain can eventually be assigned a cabin on
the upper deck that is directly connected to the wheelhouse.
“All the previous A115 yachts have been very successful in the
charter market and on average have been rented for over ten weeks
a year,” explains Ugo Pellegrino, the Sole Director of the Italian
shipyard. “For this reason, when building this unit on spec, we
decided to implement all the required commercial specifications, so
the owner could decide to use the yacht for this purpose at a later
date if so inclined. In any case, we are certain that even if the owner
decides to use the yacht for personal cruising, the features required
by charter class yachts will be to the advantage of the crew on board
as well.”
